Thank for that : ) Yeah, i checked excel's catalogue (the people who seem to make most of the wishbones), the wheel size is to do with the ball joint size : )

couldnt see the pics on your site mate? the one in your sig?

Just to keep this updated and hopefully prevent too much misinformation being spread around... I was pretty unhappy with the results of the previous forced displacement test, (my hand calcs said it should fail around 9KN). So I have been investigating the problem. It turns out that the load...

You get a lot of stick on here (mostly for good reason), but that looks really smart! Totally impractical but smart :D Well done mate!

Ok no problem, Either PM me or check my site :) www.nodpeed.com :)

any chance you still have the bent one? would pay good money for it (well, postage at least ;) )

Its a bad spot if you ask me ;)

Right there mate??

looking good neil!!

Its not a massive clearance issue, a few mm. if you can't work round it then I do do the adaptor bracket.

If im honest, the actual product side of the project was slightly fictitious, its more for the grade really. I would like to make a good design but if its not a viable product it doesnt really matter (I just have to persuade the examiners that it is).

This is also a concern, I will be looking in to this as part of the project as I am bound to get asked that question in the presentation. Any pictures of the bent chassis legs by any chance??? :)

Cracking sounds like fatigue failure, were they old? The problem with making new ones is the cost. As part of the project I have designed some chromoly tubular ones, but I would have to charge lots for them and in my project I have stated that the target market is young rally drivers/teams who...

Any reason you consider it bad other than strength?

Create cad model. Perform physical tests to validate cad model then use cad model to improve design. Then manufacture improved design and test. :)

ha. not really, it pull the wishbone down and measures the force needed to do so. The wires are for separate strain gauges which will measure strain at particular spots.

Like this Andy

So I tested a wishbone today for longitudinal strength (simulating breaking force or in extremes hitting a rock). It failed with a maximum load of 13.5KN, but yield was around 10kN so thats the limit really. This is the load extension graph. x axis is 0-50mm extension and y axis is 0-20KN

Could be more to do with getting cold air rather than Ram air.

Did you buy the power steering bracket with it? You will need to move the power steering pipework down a bit for it to fit.
